a share and bears repeating.  I asked if I could so this is not pirating of some other members experience and awarness and strength.  It was in response to two newbies here and it got the attention of this old timer as something he also needed to hold close to his recovery.

It's author is Sweet Stanley...please read and consider

MY AH drank for 32 of our 35 years together, before he found sobiety. Believe me, I had a whole trunk full of anger, resentments, and I had just had it.  But I have learned in Alanon that the only way you can be happy is to make yourself happy, whatever that takes. I have also learned to forgive, because it frees YOUR soul. When you carry all those resentments inside you, they change you, and for me, it wasn't for the better.  At the end of the day, the only person that knows and understands your resentments and anger is you. I decided that I didn't want to live that way anymore. It has taken alot of hard work and self analysis, but it HAS worked. I am happy and you can be too.  Read the 12 steps and try to live by them. They will truly change your life and all the people around you will be happier too. Good luck to you and remember... EVERY day is a NEW day and miracles CAN happen!!

In love and service.  (((((hugs))))) smile

yes it is and 100% true. We have to do the work, live it, make it part of  us. I know when I let go and gave it to hp I felt so free. To not allow anyone to contol my emotions is so wonderful.

I believe the Al Anon concepts need to be taught in the schools. How to treat each other, the tools of Al Anon make our lives sooo much better.

thank you Jer for sharing this again, and thank you sweet stanely for taking the time to put her heart to words! love,debilyn

Thank you for bringing this one to the surface. The Al Anon tools are tools that I can use in all facets of my life. I love living my life and learning more about myself and how to 'be' around others.
